  • Hi there Guest! It looks like you haven't verified your email just yet - you should receive a notification from umbraroleplaying@gmail.com (it may go to your spam) with a link to click. Once you do that, this notice will disappear!
  • Hi there Guest. As a reminder - when you are updating/editing your threads in the Requests areas - it is sent to our approval queue to be checked against our site rules. It will take about 24 hours to approve and post. Questions can be sent to Auntie Angel!
  • Hi there Guest! This message is to let you know that leadership is aware there is an error in the posting of badges - that the image links themselves are broken. Rei is working to move the items to a different img host, but it may take a little while for the transition to be complete.

The "Ignore" feature is essentially Xenforo's (and by association, Umbra's) version of a "block" button. If you ignore another user, Umbra will:
  • Remove all of that user's content from your view (profile posts, threads, individual posts on others' threads, etc).
  • Hide that user from your view on the "Users Online" sidebar block.
  • Prohibit that user from initiating conversations/sending you private messages.
One caveat to this: a member cannot ignore an Administrator. (I think members can ignore moderators, but I'm not 100% sure on this and would need to double check.)

So yes, unless you would like to BLOCK someone from communicating from you completely, I would not recommend hitting this option! :p
